Cad ice: L What a "Little Bit of Wine" Did. "Please, sir, I am sick. :. Do not arrest msT for God's sake!" . - These words were uttered in tho most sup plicating tones by a fashionably-dressed lady who stood in front of the Lieutenant's desk at Central station one night She was evidently respectable, and was attired in a neat-fitting, tailor-made costume of the latest pattern, and . her every action bespoke the lady. A beauti ful diamond-set ring sparkled on a finger of her -left hand and solitaires most brilliant shone resplendent from her ear-drops. She moved back and forth and grasped the desk to pre vent falling. Her fingers appeared powerless, however, and had not officer John Kratz grasped her she would have toppled to the floor. .- The sight was touching. One of those sad affairs a peep behind the scones. The poor woman was hastily taken from in front of those who stood gaping at her and removed to the cell-room. There she gave her name to Lieutenant Rakel as Mrs. Maggie Moyen,and her residence as No. 114 Barr street. She begged that the matter be kept quiet, even in her condition realizing the disgrace which might be brought upon herself and family. She had been found in the yard of a residence near the corner of John and tteorge streets. She was wandering about when discovered. A patrol wagon was called bfore any inquir ies were mad, and she was taken to tha station house. . ? ... , As near as can be learned the young wo- man but recently arrived in this city.- Her husband is connected with the Cincinnati, Hamilton and Dayton Railway in a lucrative position, and they were married a few years ago in Dayton, Ohio. She had been shopping during the afternoon, and had called upon several lady friends. At each place a little bit of wine was indulged in, and the result was that, being unaccustomed to stimulants, she became intoxicated- In the cell-room she got deathly sick, and the heat of the place inflamed her brain. "She in turns raved and prayed that her husband might be sent for, and again that nothing be said and she be jpermitted to go free. Her condition was certainly pitiable. She was kept locked up until - she became - sober, when a policeman escorted her to her rdence. Cincinnati Enquirer. I Worlcinfrmen and Drinlc . Tv V. - Powderly says . in the Journal of United Labor:, In the City of New York .alone it is estimated that not less than $250,- i 000 a day are spent for -drink: $1,500,000. in. ona week; $75,0X),000 in one year. Who will : dispute it when I say that one-half of the po licemen ot New York City are employed to watch the beings who squander $75,00J,000 a - year? Who will dispute it when I say that the money ispsnt in paying the salaries and expenses of one-half of the polica of New York could b?. saved to the taxpayers if $75, 000,00 were not devoted to making drunk , ards, thieves, prostitute and other subjects for the policemen's net to gather inJ .If S&jO,- 000 go over the counters of the rumseller in one day in New . York- City alone who will - dare to assert that workingmen do not pay one-fifth, or $50,000, of that sum? If work ingmen in New York City spsnd $50,0 JO a day for drink, they spend" $-300,0 JO a week, leaving Sunday out ;Ib four weeks they : spend $l,203,000-over twice as much money as was paid in the general assembly of the Knights of Labor in nine years. In six weeks they spend $1 ,80.1,000 nearly three times as much money as that army of organized work era, the Knights of .Labor, have spent from the day the general assembly was first called -to order up to the present day; and in one year the workingmen of New York City alone will have spent for beer and rum $15,D-J3,0.J9, " or enough to purchasa and equip a first-class . telegraph line of their own; $15,t500,XO enough money to invest in such eo-oporative enterprises as would forever end the strike and lock-out asa moans of settling disputes in labor circles. ... . "What Prohibition Can Accomplish It is now said that the Panama Canal wil cost, when completed, . $600,000,000, or five times as much as the original estimate. Ever ... at this enormous expense, however, the American Nation could build a couple oi Panama Canals every year out of the money - which is now worse than wasted on liquors . and tobacco. Give us genuine prohibition, and there is almost nothing this country can , not do in the way of paying out money al- - mo3t without feeling it. The man who spends an average of only twenty cents a day for liquor for himself and family, thinks it a very - small matter; but if 5,000,000 of men spend twenty cents each, that is $1,000,000 a day, or $385,000,000. a year spent- for unwholesome drink, by moderate drinkers alone, without , saying anything about those who drink ts . excess. The only reason why a simple sum. like this does not at once arrest attention and . impress upon the public conscience the injury done to general commerce by the liquor traffic, is that, while the single payment of twenty cents seems insignificant tha aggregate cost is so enormous as to be outs'd3 the rango of ordinary comprehension.

In the course of his labors Mr. Booth ha t induced over a million persons to sign the pledge. NINE PERSONS MURDERED. Terrible Scene in a Georgia Farm - house A Son Arrested. A special from Macon, XJa., says: Captain Richard Woolfalk; . a wellknown ' farmer, wife, four childrenjand Mrs. West, an aunt of Mrs Woolfalk, residing about twelve miles from this city, were found murdered, having! fc an knocked in the bead and all their throats cut; Tom G. Woo-f alk, son of Capt Woolfalk, by his first wife, i3 suspect ed of the crime, and was arrested. ; " Later and fuller details from the scene of. the Woolf oik tragedy develop the fact that there were nine victims insteai of seven, as first reported Captain and Mrs. R. F, Wool folk: their si xl children. I raneinsr in - ages . from eighteen months to twenty years, and Mrs. West, au aunt of Mrs, Woolf oik aged J eightyl " The coroners jury found a verdict of murder against Thomas G. Woolf oik, son of the captain's first wife, who was sleeping in the house. His stitement was that some time befora daybreak lie was aroused by f roans and' the sound of blows proceeding pom his parents' room.. His half brother (Richard) ran into the room which adjoinel his, 'and thinking that murder was beiu. committed, he (Thomas) jumped from a window, in bis night -clothes and bare feet and ran to the fcouse of a negro three or four hundred yards distant to get them to arouse the neighborhood. He says he was afraid to return, fearing that-he' himself would be murder, d, but went . back after half an hour. No help had arrived, and he went in to see if the family had been mur dered. - He found them "all dead, ? He step ped is a pool of blood in passing,-4 ai d left footprints on the floor: He found his step mother lying so that her heal was on the floor and her body on the bed. He then changed his clothes. By this time a crowd had arrived, and soon after he was taken into custody. The "vidence before the jury was circumstantial hroughout. The crowd continued to" grow in s ze, and the indica tions oointed stronsrlv to lvnchine. Sheriff Westcott told the jury to withhold their verdict until he could get the prisoner away and then, making all arrangements, slippo 1 Woolf oik out of : the house in a hurry, and drove away so rapidly that the crowd had hardly time to realize the departure. - The Irisoner was brought to Macon and safely odged in jail, where he talked of the crime coolly, but made no admissions. His motivo is said to Ik the desire to gain possession of his father's property for himself and two sisters, children of the first wife." SIX LIVES "CRUSHED OUT. Workmen Buried Beneath Wall a Fallen A man who sat early on the railroad track at the south side of the ruins of the St, An thany elevator, in Southeast Minneapolis, burned - on July ,19, . started to his feet and shouted wildly to a group of men who were shoveling wheat at the foot oi the remnant of stone wall which rose 100 feet above them. The great wall tottered a second, and then with a rushing sound fell in a mass up jn the men.--There was no cry from them. The great pieces of stone, huge timbers and blacken d wheat covered them a dozen feet deep, i All but one of them. He was buried waist deep in the debris-, and the not smok ing mass stifled him. Evea he could not cry OUt.5 - ' A hundro I men rushed in and in a trice pulled out this one man, the only one visible The hot stone and burning wheat blistered their hands. They could not go onto remove the debris. "Water, water f" was the call. Pails and buckets were brought, and the hot stone was drenched. Then the work of digging for the men who were burie I was begun and all were taken out. This was continued till the last bucketful of debris was removed. The accident .occurred a few minutes be fore three o'clock in the morning. .: The- vic tims were members of a large gang of work men who were removiDg the wheat damaged by the fire, which was purchased a few days I ago by a syndicate of men headed by W. A. .uoimes. ine men were employed or tne syndicate. : When they went to work the walls betrayed not the least sign of weakness The wheat outside of the wall on the south side had been removed to a depth of about five feet below the railroad track, ten feet away, on which the cars were being loaded and the men were working in a great ditch inside the wall. The wheat and burned tim bers were piled to the top. r The men were, all found on their faces with their heads toward the walL . The bod ies were carried three or four hundred feet and laid on pine boards under a big tree. As soon as the undertakers could be notified coffins wera brought and the bodies were removed. ' 1 l i : V Hendricks the fiast man taken out was bably injured about the back and head and his jaw was - bruised but no bones were broken.. , f Mr. H. W.

A Terrible Fight in Clay County, Ky.,' : ;".".: During an Election.:: A special from Williamsburg, Ky., says: The news comes from Manchester," Clay County; by a - horseman that a fierce fight occurred at the polls during the voting Mon Uay. ' The fight was participated in by a score or more of men, all having revolvers and bowie-knives. Six men were killed out right and a number badly wounded. - Four of the men killed were prominent citizens of Manchester and the unknown were strangers from the country. "., The greatest excitement prevails at Manchester, over the tragedy. -1 here was no attempt on the part of the officers to quell the - disturb ance. Manchester is the capital of Clay County in the southeastern part of Kentucky and is located in the mountainous district, sixty miles from Somerset; and thirty miles from Livingston, the nearest telegraph and railroad point. . Its population is about three hundred. . . . A DESTRUCTIVE FIRE. The business Portion of Clarksburg j - W..Va., Nearly 1 estroyed. - j A destructive fire broke out at Clarksburg, W.

TOPICS OF INTEREST RELATIVE , - TO FARM AND GARDEN. . j ; .-..Carrots.',." - ; Aot a few of our progressive farmers are adopting a practice .common among English agriculturists, and' growing car rots, as a fieJ fV i crop. : They believe that there is no better froot I for -cows and horses, sheep and oxen. Fed in connec tion with hay or grain carrots seem to in crease the value of the latter. : That is, the carrot itself not only contains much nutriment, but t it appears to cause the other food to digest more perfectly, so that little ' or none is wasted. -This is certainly the case with grain. As a sub stitute for hay carrots prevent constipa tion when much dry food is used. Like oil meal they brighten up the coits - of animals, civing a sleek, glossy look. Car rots also improve the color and'quality of milk and butter. When cooked, they are' erood for poultry, and fed either cooked or raw they are valuable for hogs. : :-. . Care of Colts. . At about the end of the sixth month the colt should be weaned. During tho summer and autumn months he should be allowed to be at grass, which, if sue eulent and abundant, "will be all that is required as food. When'takcn up in the autumn a sufficient quantity of the best English hay, with two or three quarts of bruised oats,' should be given daily. Twice durins the week the colt should receive a few carrots cut up and given raw; or steamed, which would render them more easily assimilated, and to thess a little bran should be mixed. : Plenty of fresh, clean water should be accessible ' to ? the animal. Protection from the weather at all times should be urovided. and durme - the cold season warm, well ventilatedr sunny quarters are extremely important. , i . The first year of : the colt's life, espe cially the first winter," is the most critical period of his existence. : If through neg lect he is allowed to get out of condition he will never quite recover from the ef fects. Consequently proper food, and an abundance of it, with care to cleanliness of his ' person and his quarters are most essential. : ; Grain, never produces a large belly, either upon the colt or the adult; cer tainly not unless fed out in the most ex traordihary manner, which would .prove destruction to the animal. - More Corn for Fodder Needed, x odder corn follows crass in rank as a feeding crop, either green for summer use or preserved as ensilage, or dried and cured for the winter It is one of the most prolific and nutritious plants whea it is properly grown and cultivated. It has yielded from twenty-four to forty tons of green, and . five' to eight tons o cured fodder; -It requires rich land and good cultivation, - however, to make this yield, but on poor land, helped by artifi cial fertilizers, a very profitable yield can be made. In such a case a' poor, sandy farm, which was badly l run down, pro duced twenty-four tons of Evergreen Sweet Corn with six hundred pounds of special corn j manure to the acre; and twelve tons per acre of Early Narragan sett Sweet Corn.-' It is quite possible to grow both of these crops on the same ground, the same season, for the early corn will be . ready : for cutting in fifty days from planting, and the later kind planted in July will mature in Septem ber: thus giving thirty-six tons of green fodder, or eight of cured fodder per acre. It isjthis rapid growth which nu kes this crop so valuable. . Fodder corn has acquired a poor refu tation, by reason of the mistaken manner of growing it, viz. : by broadcasting the 3eed at the rate of two or three bushels per acre, by which the crop is so crowded that it makes a white, watery, rank forage,- quite devoid of nutriment, and worth but little more than wood shavings. Cows have been known to reject fodder thus grownj which is a convincing proof of their natural sagacity. ' ' When grown in rows, three feet apart, and-with four.to six seeds dropped eight een ' inches apart,' ; the fodder is : entirely different. It 'is green in color, mature in its growth, full of sweetness; and a large proportion of the stalks will have ears in what is ' known as the toasting stage, and. as the fodder is cured," these may be dried," if -the proper precautions are taken in the curing. 7 American Agri "MHurist. I ; i v - ; ' ! A Chapter on Farm Economy. There is no trade: or occupation in life in which true economy is as important as in farming.l By economy we do not mean 3tinginess or denying one's self the com mon comforts of. life. The farmer who practises it cannot expect to command the esteem and respect of his fellow-men, nor retain it himself. Nor is it necessa ry in this connection to admonish the farmers of the importance and necessity of saving whatvthey make, and of turn ing into ready cash all kinds of products not needed on the farm. But it is the little economies to which we would now more particularly, direct the attention of -far- mers. - ; ri:, vs .lil-.,:l-ibJf.4 t In the first place, an economical far mer is necessarily a neat farmer. He can not afford to allow weeds andj briers to grow up in his i fence - corners to rob the soil of its .fertility, and rot his f enees. lie cannot ' a (Tord to allow his gates and farm implements to go to rack for the' want of a little repair; his farm buildings to do the same for the want of a little seeing to, well knowing that much of the value of his property depends upon its appearance. - . - i Take any two farms of the same num ber of acres lying in the same neighbor hood,' and composed of the same charac ter of -land, r the one. with its fencing (were it not for the briers and weeds that support it) about to tumble down, its fields inconveniently located, its build ings in ; a state' of dilapidation without any approach or lawn to give an air of ij somfort to the premises, and the other with ; all "these improvements plainly in viewj and J the 'difference in the market yalue of the two will be from twenty to thirty per centi in favor of the latter, simply on account of its neatness. An jther essential point' in economical farm ing, is system. In no business is it more" accessary tosuccess.- Haphazard farm ing may, it is true, earn a- living, such as it is, for the time-being, but can never lay up anything for a "rainy dayt" The methodical man, however, always knows his business, and can so arrange it as to iccomplish what he hns to do with much less inconvenience, expense or labor than he who farms it in a desultory, slipshod manner. There must be system in every thing pertaining to the farm ; system in 3oing everything-, in -time;. ..system in iiaving a place for everything, and every ;hng in its place; system in not putting 9fEany thing until to-morrow that can be lone to-day ; system in planing, m working, f; in grain-growing, in. stock-1 reeding and feeding; in short, system in everything; Baltimore 8itn. : Farm and Garden Notes.

' - English horticulturists recommend a solution of fir tree oil in water for the de struction of green fly on peach and nectarine trees. - A grindstone convenientlv placed ready for use leaves no excuse for working with a dull ax or other cutting instrument that never does good work.

When help is plenty it is better to do this work in the afternoon, after the heat of the day has partially subsided. Coal ashes are not fit for the dust-box until the cinders have been sifted out. - A hen cannot throw coal cinders on . her back. They are too heavy; besides, they hurt her fcet." The struggle against weeds may be continued in autumn with more or less success as long as their seeds can be in duced to sprout, ready for destruction by the harrow. - A Vermont farmer plants a sunflower seed instead of a' pole to each hill of beans. The sturdy stalk answered for a pole, and the seeds supply an excellent feed for poultry, , The best labels for marking plants are made from zinc, and. only a common lead pencil is needed to mark them." The writing is at first faint, but becomes dis tinct when exposed to the weather. Beans are rich in nitrogen, ana are good food for any" sort 01 . animals.

Calves m 'st be .kept thrifty- from the first with no set-back, if thev are to be come fully developed early, and this is the only way to get satisfactory profits from raising them, whether for the dairy or the shombles. ? ' The onion crop must have nitrogen. Ashes have frequently ; been . applied where the same plot was planted year after year, but they are lacking in nitro sren. and sooner or later the bottom will go out of the land. 1 " Near a good market where celery can be sold easily, it is a good, crop to grow with onions. The constant tillage of the land in fall for banking celery leaves the land free from seeds and weeds, and in fine order for next year's work. i The object of plowing corn in a dry season is not so much "to kill the weeds ias to form a mulch of dry dirt that, will condense the moisture : in the shape of dew, and that will conserve or save the moisture that comes up from the hidden reservoirs below. v ; It is said that the relative cost of. raia iner a Tiound of pork and a pound of chicken is as three to four, that is, if a fJ M. - chicken will cost eight. But, while the cost of production is so nearly alike,- the price realized is about in the ratio of one to three, or, in other -words, when pork sell at six cents a pound, chickens -will bring eighteen cents a pound. Less "hog and hominy" and more roast chicken for us. f " The Wren's Requiem. A. few: months ago I was spending some time with friends in Southern Illi nois., .During my stay , an incident oc curred which astonished me not a little; It was an early spring morning that I was awakened by a twittering ' outside my window. ; Looking out I saw two curious festoons hanging from the sill and ap parently in motion.

At the beginning of March the car- flens vOf Egypt are really wonderful ; the orange and - lemon trees. srread their most pungent odoir; the rose trees are covered with innumerable flowers; the palms, with their green and white crowns, swing there 1 in: the wind; the oleanders there border the avenues ; on the lawns anemones, an nual and perpetual flowering pinks, chrysanthemums, violets, zinnias, "peri- winKJos, snap-dragons, mignonette, pansies, and petunias blend, their in numerable colors with the" creen of -the trees, bushes, and shrubs.

On the : banks of the water courses the blue lotus, and? the papyrus still revive antique reminis cences, lirass cannot be -,raisea in Fgypt.. The layer of soil is ' so thin that the sun dries it up immediately, and unless the crass is onstantlv sub merged it turns yellow and perishes at once. " It is not the heat alone that produces this result, for there is very much uno grass in the tropics; but the heat, accompanied by the ; shallowness of the soil, renders the culture of grass impossible in Egypt. It is with diffi culty that a few isolated blades of grass sprout- during winter - along tho Nile and tho - canals ; they disappear as soon as the spring begins,, so,. that everywhere in tho country where arti ficial cultivation finishes "the dry and bare desert begins. In t the place ' of grass a pretty little verbenacea is used, and this is encountered everywhere, the. same as grass is encountered in sA-merica. Ircoklyn Magazine. .. Experimental Yellow Fever. Dr. Carlos Finlay, of Havana, lias published the results of several experi ments' he has made on the iaoculability of yellow fever. He performed the op eration, or rather got it performed for him, by mosquitoes, which he caused first to sung a patient an Bering from yellow fever and shortly afterward a healthy person who was to be (with his own consent, of course) the subject of the experiment. He found that the disease was only inoculable - from the third to the" sixth day. -- When two musquitoes were employed, so that a double dese was given, the symptoms of the experimental : disease was more than when only a single musquito- was used. Of eleven cases of inoculation. six were efficacious, one doubtful, and four negative. Tho period of incuba tion varied from five to fourteen days; the symptoms consisted of headache, pyrexia, injeotion, with sometimes an icterio tint of the conjunctiva, and in some cases : albuminuria. The fever lasted, as in . the ordinary form, from five to twenty-one days. The author believes that this method of producing artificial yellow fever will ultimately be" found very valuable as a prophy lactic against the natural and danger ous form of the disease.-Lane et. A Perilous Postponement. . : To postpone, when tl:e duty for immed'ata tion is clear, is always unwise. JTBpecially is t bo when increasing ill health calls for a re ort to mediation. Diseases of the kidneys aud ladder are often of swift growth always of atal tendency if not combattel at the outset. ff e have all even those of us who are nst re narkably well instructed heard something if t!ie danger attending Bright's disease, dia te(e9, and other diseases of the kidneys or ladder. Let no one be foolhardy enough ti Procrastinate if he perceive the renal organs o be inactive. Ho-tetter's Stomach Bitters are eculiarly a!ap ed to overcome this inaction, sufficiently stimulate, without exciting, the Kidneys and bladder.

Lord Byron; Surely he was in bad humor when he wrote such words. But there are complaints that only wo men suffer, that are carrying numbers of them down to early graves. There is hope for those who suffer, no matter how sorely, or severely, in Dr. R. v. Pierce's "Favorite Prescription."
